We have decided to proceed with applying for a public and/or intercountry adoption through Child and Family services in Manitoba. If you used CFS Manitoba as your agency looking for an infant/toddler how long did it take you? I'm anticipating at least a couple of years, but I'd like to hear about some experiences.

Me: 37 DH: 36

TTC since 2014

IVF #1: November 2016

ER: Retrieved 5 eggs, 5 fertilized, ended up with 4 five day blasts

Fresh ET Nov 2016: BFN

FET w/ ICSI #1 Feb 2017: BFP, M/C Apr (Lost at 7 weeks, found out at 14, had D&C)

FET w/ ICSI #2 June 2017: BFP, M/C Sept (Lost at 9 weeks, found out at almost 13 weeks, had D&C)

FET w/ ICSI #3 April 2018: BFN

IVF # 2: January 2020

ER: Retrieved 15 eggs, 10 fertilized, ended up with 7 five day blasts

Fresh ET Jan 2020: BFN

FET w/ICSI #1 Aug 2020: BFN

5 frosties left, likely not cycling again until next spring.

We too have started the adoption process through CFS manitoba to adopt a toddler our application was approved in April 2017...we are still waiting to get into the education seminar (they told me probably fall 2018 at the earliest) I spoke to 1 women who adopted sibling toddlers and she said it was 3 years from application to getting the children!

We’ve moved on from Manitoba CFS program as the political environment isn’t condusive to non-aboriginal couples. Fostering to adopt was to be faster but even that seems to have slowed down. I wish you luck but we’ve moved on to Lithuania through adoption options and Loving Heart Int”l adoption agency in Toronto. Expensive but for us waiting 4 years was enough. Time was ticking. Should know something in next few months, after applying in Jan, paperwork in by July and close to hearing of a match. Good luck.

I agree that the process does seem to be much longer if you are not aboriginal. Three years was along the timelines I was thinking of...

It's quite a long process. Thanks for the info!
